Chain Letter (2010)

Chain Letter (2010)

Dir- Deon Taylor

Chain letters were always a fun way to mess with people in the days before the internet with stories of terrible events that fell on those who did not share. The 2010 slasher Chain Letter takes this trope and pushes it into the internet era by showing a group of friends receiving mysterious chain letters on their phones only to find grizzly deaths that await them at the hands of a crazed murderer using chains. Deon Taylor directed Chain Letter and cast Nikki Reed in the lead. The film features Keith David, Brad Dourif, Bai Ling, and Betsy Russell in supporting roles. Chain Letter is a surprisingly gory movie in the style of Hostel or Saw, the story is at times rather implausible, but the death scenes are intense with some wicked plot twists thrown in. While Chain Letter may not be original, it certainly will surprise fans of ultra-gory slasher movies.
